Great practical video, I would prefer to modify my grinder so anyone know of a low cost way to reduce the speed of the induction motor on my grinder?

Bought one for £10 advertised on Facebook from a lady selling off her late father's tools. Scraped off the old varnish and 3 coats of Bol and very pleased with it. My Dad had a cheaper chromed version of one of these. Just need to get some decent bits now and rather fancy some Woodowls..

Blight has been very bad here in the Midlands this year. Our potatoes have been infected which weren't last year and our greenhouse tomatoes have been hit as well. The blight spores are spread by wind and rain. The only mehtod I've ever found effective is to cut the haulms off potatoes and the...

Ring around a few local joiner businesses and ask if they have a couple of 18mm plywood offcuts. I did this for one job and a local business was happy to help for nothing but I gave him some beer tokens.

I sometimes had this on my home made table that has a fixed mouth for the cutter. I found that I needed to make sure I applied enough side pressure against the fence, either using feather boards and/or hand pressure, during the infeed. Likewise as the piece feeds across then cutter need to...

Just an update, after asking several sellers to measure the distance between the adjuster slot and bottom of the cap iron one of them sent a picture showing it to be shorter than mine so I bought it for £7.75 including postage. It arrived today and the blade now retracts properly. I noticed it...

I was taught the figure of 8 at night school over 15 years ago. Bit tricky if you use a honing jig

I've got a large thicket of the stuff in one of the paddocks and it self seeds like mad. I've only ever burnt it but one day I want to make make a nice walking staff.

It depends on what you need it for. The 2850 rpm wheel may appeal to wood turners but no use for bench chisels whereas I would like the 320 rpm water wheel for regrinding bench chisels and planes. I used an oil version at college night school many years ago and it did a great job of renovating...

On our village facebook page yesterday someone posted asking for a reliable company to cut down some of her trees and one villager replied 'HS2'.

Don't forget to paint it first and be sparing with that glue!

I use it for the same and on my Defender. It's great stuff, I wipe it on my bandsaw table then use machine wax over the top and it works a treat.

We've got eight Maine Coons (my wife breeds and shows them) and they've slowly wrecked our house, ragging up carpet, stripping wallpaper etc. despite having scratching posts and activity centres everywhere (several of which cost an eye watering amount of money) and logs in their cat run outside...

and beetles...still all you need is love eh? Very nice furniture btw

Just to be clear though, I have the Parkside Air nailer/stapler not the electric version, I've never used the electric one.

and me, it has been excellent. I also have a Lidl air stapler/nailer which is surprisingly good - and cheap.
